Gary Shapiro, President of the Consumer Electronics Association, reports at the Daily Caller.
He concludes…
The Obama administration does not support U.S. companies. It has attacked our world-leading companies — including Apple, AT&T, Google and Intel. It has imposed huge costs on small and large employers through the Dodd-Frank financial reform law and Obamacare.
Despite these actions, one would think that the Obama campaign would at least try to mask its hostility toward business owners on the trail. But we’ve seen the exact opposite. The president and his advisors have made a very conscious decision to pit middle-class and low-income Americans against job creators. The message to them has been: Don’t blame the president for low GDP growth and high unemployment; it’s their fault.
It’s a strategy that might work in the end, if enough Americans believe that the golden goose of business can birth new jobs while fighting a hostile government. But business owners have had enough. Whether the recent Democratic National Convention papered over the anti-business tone is doubtful. One big voting group — America’s job creators, entrepreneurs and business owners — have decided: You slammed us for almost four years; why would we support you now?
(emphasis added – Ed) It’s all so obvious if you have any type of business sense at all. If you’re all about class warfare, perhaps that’s not the case.
